Dedicated truck

One truck, one crew, straight to Brisbane

Some interstate movers share one truck between several customers’ jobs. We don’t. When you book Moving Folks from Melbourne to Brisbane, the truck carries your household and nothing else. We load it and leave straight for the unload, with no detours and no waiting days for someone else’s pick-up. Your furniture is in Brisbane in about 2 days, and there are no hotel nights spent waiting for it to turn up.

The same crew loads and unloads. We don’t send one person up with the truck and hire casual helpers for a few hours at the Queensland end, so one team is responsible from start to finish, and there’s no argument over who handled what if an insurance claim is ever needed. We’re owner-operated, and the owner loads every job personally, with care and precision.

The road between the two cities

The Newell Highway is the New South Wales section of the inland route between Melbourne and Brisbane. It is the longest highway in NSW, running more than 1,060 km from Tocumwal on the Victorian border to Goondiwindi on the Queensland border, past Parkes, Dubbo and Narrabri. Infrastructure Australia describes it as the principal freight route between the two capitals. On a trip that long, we don’t add anyone else’s pick-ups or drop-offs: the truck carries your job alone and goes straight to the unload. That’s why delivery takes as long as the drive itself, and we can share the truck’s live location so you can see where your furniture is on the way north.

A whole house in one truck

Our interstate truck is a 12-tonne truck with about 48 cubic metres of space, so a typical full house fits comfortably. We supply moving boxes at a good price, and we’ll share all our insurance documents with you. Ask any removalist for theirs before you book.

Pot plants, soil & your new garden

Queensland’s biosecurity laws restrict certain plant material, soil and related equipment coming in from other states. For those items you generally need a biosecurity certificate, which you apply for through the agriculture department in Victoria, and fees may apply. Some restrictions name Victoria specifically, such as those on pine-family plants like pine, fir, cedar and spruce. Business Queensland’s page lists the restricted items, so check before you pack anything that’s growing. Once you’re in, keep an eye on the garden: Brisbane City Council’s advice is to report fire ants at your property to the National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program within 24 hours. Their nests can be in garden beds, lawns and pot plants.

Good to know

Moving questions, answered.

How long does a Melbourne to Brisbane move take?
Your furniture is in Brisbane in about 2 days after we load. We load your job and leave straight for the unload, and because the truck carries your household alone, there are no detours or waiting days for other customers’ jobs on the way. We can also share the truck’s live location, so you can follow its progress to Brisbane.
Will my things share the truck with anyone else’s?
No. We only do dedicated jobs, so no other customer’s job is added to yours on the way. That means no detours, no waiting days and no hotel nights spent waiting for your furniture. And the same crew that loads your things in Melbourne unloads them in Brisbane.
How do you work out the price for a Brisbane move?
If you’re heading up from Melbourne, we can come out to check all your furniture and the access, or quote from photos of your furniture and both full addresses, whichever you prefer. If you’re coming down from Queensland, the quote is based on photos of your furniture and both full addresses. In both cases, the result is one fixed price, agreed before the move. Dismantling and reassembly of furniture is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you also move from Brisbane to Melbourne?
Yes, from Brisbane and anywhere in Queensland to Melbourne and anywhere in Victoria. Those moves are dedicated full truckloads only: the truck carries your load alone, with no one else’s job added. Send us photos of your furniture and both full addresses, and we’ll give you one fixed price before the move.
When do I need to change my rego and licence in Queensland?
If your car will be kept at a Queensland address, you have 14 days to register it there and may be fined if you don’t. You’ll need a Queensland safety certificate. Hand in your Victorian plates when you register, then contact VicRoads for a refund of the unused rego. Once you’ve lived in Queensland for 3 months, Australian citizens and resident visa holders need a Queensland licence.
What if I can’t get into the Brisbane place straight away?
Tell us when you book. If you need your things stored for a couple of days before delivery, we can organise that, because we have a few trucks. It helps when a settlement or lease start date doesn’t line up with moving day.
